Oh wow, they are still updating it? I didn't check for more than 2 years now, to be honest let them greenlit it and sell on steam if everything is stable now.
Dang, never heard of this project before. Looks interesting.

Well I thought{?}I read that they thought the game wasn't complete enough to be on Steam. The game in its current state seems pretty complete to me, especially given some of the EA crappola ive seen on Steam lately.
It is very good for what it is. I've had a copy for years now and they are constantly updating it, which reminds me to get the latest update...
If you like Age of Empires, this is up your street ... and it's free, and for freeware is extremely professional. :bd:
Are there mods?

It's been underway for a very long time. Nice to see they continue to work on it.
Is it tactical. Formations and stuff, or do they just blob and go at seperate speeds

Yes, lots of formations depending on the size and type of your units.

Apprved. My pet peeve is units that blob and move at individual speeds. Drives me up the friggin wall
#1 question for any RTS: Can you give orders while paused?
